    Are these Woems?

    We have found 1 and 2 of these in eggs from one of my older hens. My husband says they are just like some worms he finds in fish. What are they and what do you recommend? Thanks in advance!![/IMG]

    He or She? What Breed?

    I got a straight run of Easter Eggers from a neighbor back is September. I didn't realize that was not a single breed and I am still relatively new at the chicken game. I would love to hear what breed and gender you all think I have. I can only tell that 2 are roos for sure as they are...

    late hatchers come hatch along with us setting nov 12 to nov 20

    Class hatch update: Thanks Chicksooner! We are still hatching on day 23. We had 2 out of the shell yesterday, 2 last night and another 2 this morning. I can see 4 that have pipped and too many that haven't. I think we are coming to the point that we have to decide if we help or not..... I...

    late hatchers come hatch along with us setting nov 12 to nov 20

    Class hatch update: We had 1 hatch this morning and another is unzipping, but none of the others has even pipped. I'm worried. Nearly all of the 34 looked really good when we candled them just before lock down. Yesterday afternoon was day 21 so maybe they just want a few more hours in their...

    late hatchers come hatch along with us setting nov 12 to nov 20

    Class hatch along update: We haven't had any hatch, or even pip yet, but I have been hearing some peeping! They didn't get started in the incubator until around 2:00pm so I suspect that they will begin in the next few hours. They will probably all hatch at night and my kiddos won't get to...

    Has anyone ordered any assortments or bargains from Meyer or Mcmurray Hatchery ?

    We ordered 50 chicks from Murry McMurry around Easter this year (2012). It was the whatever-didn't-get-sold-that-week package deal. It was about 50/ 50 male to female. As to what we actually got? Who knows, but we did get quite a show! They are every type and color. We didn't know anything...

    Stopping Egg Eaters

    Quote: Thanks mysunwolf! I'll try it out. I removed the buckets that had eggs in them before and it seem to have stopped. I will not bleach them, I promise! It seems it is always something. Now I have 2 that refuse to get out of their nests, but I don't have any roos. I am learning though...

    Consolidated Kansas

    My class is hatching eggs for mommahen10. We candled yesterday on day 16. I'm new at candling and the kids took the pics so neither of us did the best job in the world, but it was pretty amazing. We removed the unfertlized eggs so they won't explode. One class was lucky enough to see a baby...

    Stopping Egg Eaters

    It's confirmed. I have an egg eater. I feed free choice oyster shell, but have been getting a few broken eggs in the last few weeks. I had thought that maybe they were stepped on or broken because so many like a few of the nesting boxes better than the others and there were just too many in...

    Rough Shells in incubator

    I am incubating 40 chicken eggs in my classroom in a styrofoam still air incubator. Today is day 13 and I noticed that 2 of the eggs' shells are really rough. They were not like that when I put them in or even last week. Does anyone know what is happening? They still had water in the wells...

    late hatchers come hatch along with us setting nov 12 to nov 20

    My class started 40 mystery chicken eggs to help a local family grow their flock on Nov. 13th. Today was day 13 and we candled them. They looked great until I dropped one. It broke right by my desk. I was so upset. I think I saw the little guy move, but he didn't last long. I have older...

    Slimy egg

    I have one that always lays a slimy egg. I didn't know it was like this until today. The egg was fresh and the goo had not dried. Usually they have already dried and it is sort of shiny and sticky. Should I be worried about one of my girls?

    What's on my

    Thanks HEChicken! We went from 0 to 65 chickens overnight and we knew absolutely nothing. It has been trial by fire, but we're getting the hang of it and having a good time along the way. We have it backwards. Our nesting boxes are a dozen 5 gallon buckets framed in 2 stacked rows about 2...

    What's on my

    We are new to the chicken game. We ordered one of those 50 of whatever didn't get ordered that week specials and I hatched 15 in my classroom. Maybe not the best way to start out, but it has been interesting learning about all the different kinds of chickens. We learned too late that the first...
